This game is pretty hard, but you get the satifaction after you have done really well on it. In the game you have to time each move in your head, you dont have a time meter or anything like that, so when you mess up it could effect your TV rating, which you have to keep up. But if you do it correctly
you save the people and you feel satisfied.

Fun repetitive game but never loses its touch..

Space Channel 5 is well...Grooooooooovy. Hahah.
The game is pretty much well..Dancing. But the game is solid. You play the game as Ulala, A space reporter, but a very groovy space reporteri a galaxy. Shes got some pretty cool dances and has a grooooovy attitude. You must use your groovy dances and moves to save the planet from an invasion from some sort of aliens called the Morolians. The game is fun. As the other reviewer mention the game does get pretty hard even near the beginning of the game. The game has some really good graphics and some cool colorful retro type enviroment.

Lets get to it...

The graphics in the game are up to par with other hot Dreamcast titles. The graphics were pretty stunning at one point but are still good and not Outdated. But not AMAZING graphics, duhh. I would Have to give the graphics a star for that..

The sound is great. It has a pretty cool soundtrack with cool funky, groovy(yeah thats getting annoying) dance songs and really awesome beats to get to you in the game.

Gameplay is really fun with nothing but DANCE DANCE DANCE. But cool dancing of course..Like I said before this game is funky. And.....groovy.eheh. The gameplay shows off some really cool realistic dance moves that will have you dancing on your mind. HELL MAYBE ON YOUR FEET! Theres alot of cool levels to dance too and some cool hidden levels when you replay the whole game again.

The creators did a great job with this DC title. From great graphics to groovy dance beats to funky levels....and lots of hard repetitive gameplay I give Space Channel five for Dreamcast..

4.0 out 5 stars..

This game is very unique in that you use a sexy female to dance with funny little aliens. This game is a lot of fun, but it can be very hard to achieve the points necessary to go to the next levels.

Therefore you should get a cheap gameshark. There are codes for Infinite Health and for Max Viewer Rating. Those codes allow you to make mistakes, but still move throughout the levels.

As I mentioned that the female star is "sexy". (...)

Up down, Up down, shoot-shoot-shoot!

Great game. Ulala is the cutest, sexiest video-game character I've ever seen. However, don't buy this game if you get easily frustrated or you'll end up breaking the CD into little pieces. The controls are difficult to master, and sometimes even if you do it perfectly the computer still says you did it wrong.

And finally, at the end of level 4 when you have to shoot the antenna, you have to HOLD DOWN the last shot. I played level 4 to the end about 8 times before I figured that out, speaking of frustrating.

If you can get past the difficulty, the game is great fun. The music will have you dancing around and the dance moves are spectacular. The voices for Ulala and the other characters fit them perfectly and will make you laugh from time to time. I highly recommend this game for anyone who likes a challenge and doesn't give up easily.

I think Space Channel 5 is one of the best dance games ever. One of the only flaws of this game is the control. When you push a button, Ulala (the main character) doesn't do the moves she was supposed to. I think the greatest part of this game is the way they walk from alien invasion to alien invasion in a stylish sort of way. The other characters, or Ulala's rivals, Jaguar and Pudding are very strange characters, Pudding being a former pop princess and Jaguar being a... I don't know if hes a man or a woman. Sounds like a man, but looks like a woman.
Overall, Space Channel 5 isn't such a bad game after all. All of the shooting and dancing with aliens relieves stress, I guess.

I recently bought Space Channel 5 at a used video game store, and I love it. I play it constantly, defeating aliens quickly. I bought it yesterday, so I'm only on level 3, but I think I'm doing OK. The only fault of this game is that the rhythm is hard to keep up with. Sometimes you miss it when you think you did it right, and it gets on my nerves. But overall this video game is extremely fun and totally awesome.

pretty cool

I think this is a really cool game. It quickly became one of my favorite Dreamcast games. I only wish it was longer. I don't know what some of those other guys were complaining about with the controls. I didn't have a problem. It is easy for me. I beat the game in 3 days. Starting out I thought Evila was a tough boss. Not anymore! It's now my favorite boss. I do level 4 all the time.

CONTROLS ARE TERRIBLE!

i've always been a fan of games like bustagroove and parappa and so i had a feeling i'd fall in love with this game right away. and i did. but it's almost impossible to enjoy because sega did a RIDICULOUSLY poor job with the controller/buttons. you press down on the buttons, KNOW you're right on the beat, and yet it doesn't go through. it's not a matter of "being on the beat", but rather the fact that the buttons you press DON'T WORK. i think others have had the same problem. i've become so frustrated i wish i had never even bought this game. it's wonderful but IMPOSSIBLE to play.

One Funk Game!

I have two friends that have this game, and, when I saw it, I was a bit... ...intimidated. The game itself is a very funny game, to start off with, and the genre is un-categorizable. But, eventually, I finally decided to try the game. I was probably the worst person to've ever graced the game, believe you me, when I first started. But, nonetheless, it was still fun and had me coming back for more! Let's get down to the bare facts, if you don't mind...

Controls - 4.5/5.0 (difficult at first, very good later)
-At first, the time slot is very slim, one would think when they first try the game. I know I thought so. But, I found out how to do it. By keeping the hand OFF of the D-Pad, I seemed to have more control in the game. You have to match the moves with the rhythm in order to get good ratings, and, having beaten the game so many times, I have concluded that the controls are very precise. There are no complaints in this department, and there shouldn't be. Just stay with the funk!!

Graphics - 4.7/5.0 (backgrounds detract at times, realistic moves)
-Space Channel 5 puts in CGI graphics in the backgrounds of normal play. This means that whenever the game cuts from one scene to another, either the background will be too quick or too slow with the real-time parts. However, controlling the sultry Ulala is certainly not bad-looking - quite the contrary, actually. The moves are realistic, as is evidenced by a certain legend's appearance in the game (both through graphics and audio). I won't say who it is, but everyone else already has. The graphics are definitely soothing to the eyes.

Audio - 4.9/5.0 (some repeated noises, good music and entertaining sound effects)
-This game is all about music. Naturally, that would be a key point during the game's design, and there are not downsides to this aspect except one. This game missed perfection by .05, all because of the 'narrator's' constant lines. Now, I would have taken more away had it not been so entertaining. When you are doing good (and, by the way, I am very good at this game now), he will say some things in there or really 'get into the music'. But, it is still very fun and no real lows.

Fun - 5.1/5.0 (No bad things, very addictive)
-This game cannot be summed up with simple words. I could go on and on about how addictive it is, the utter humor involved, and the plain out fun there is here. Though this game is very short (I beat the game 7 times in one day), taking about one hour each time. But, being that I spent 7 hours right in front of Space Channel 5 should tell you something. Something good.

Story - 4.9/5.0 (quirky, but still entertaining to extraordinary levels)
-You control Ulala, a sultry reporter investigating the exploits of an alien race. It would seem that their intent is to force the humans to dance. To be able to conquer these villanous abominations, you must copy their dance techniques. You have a viewer rating that you must achieve for each level (I beat the game with 99% as my highest). The story unfolds throughout the story, and I won't giveaway any of the thought-provoking aspects of this marvelous game, but I will say that, after you beat the game, there is a special bonus in going through the game again.

Well, that sums up SEGA's great game in Space Channel 5. The only logical thing to leave you with is a quote from William Shatner (some commercial). "You know what to do, dawg!! Bust a move!!" And, might I say so vigorously, go and bust a move. Thank you.
